Chapter 10: Mixed FeelingsThe sand finally settled.
Tarta was nowhere in sight. Eagle frantically looking around for Tatra.
He saw long auburn hair-
-stained with blood.
"Tatra!" Eagle yelled.
He ran over to her injured body.
Blood was everywhere.
A pulse was there. Barely.
"Don't leave me Tatra, don't…" Eagle whimpered.
"HEALING WIND!" Fuu screamed with passion.
Winds lifted Tatra off the ground, revolving around her, all her cuts, the blood, bruises, anything that physically harmed her healed.
Eagle picked up Tatra who was still weak.
Fuu fell but Hikaru and Umi caught her before she could hit the ground. Fuu panted, very weak from using so much of her will because Tatra was so close to death.
Eagle bowed to Fuu, gratefully for what she did. He and girls went into the castle to let Tatra and Fuu rest. Eagle was going to have to deal with Tarta later.
-------------------------
Hikaru, Umi, and Eagle were quietly chatting while watching Tatra and Fuu sleep.
"So she really is jealous.." Umi said.
"But I thought she loved her sister." Hikaru sighed.
"Jealously can make people do ugly things.." Eagle explained.
"I'm in-debt to Fuu. If she wasn't there, Tatra would have died.." Eagle's eyes darken slightly at the thought of losing her.
"Fuu was glad to do so, I know that she is." Umi replied.
"I need to tell Clef what happened. I'll be back soon. Everyone needs to watch out for Tarta. This is inexcusable.." Hikaru told them as she walked out.
"Even if I'm jealous of that women, I would never to something like that. Never." Hikaru thought.
--------------------------------------------
Clef nodded. He couldn't believe it.
Clef sent messages throughout the castle to let everyone know to be on the look out for Tarta, but didn't give the reason why.
Clef also send a message to Chizata, telling the King and Queen what happened.
"The Queen of Chizata will be coming."
---------------------------------------------
"Where is she?" A beautiful tanned woman asked. Her stunning black hair was tied back into a bun but had strands of bangs framing her face.
"Follow me." Hikaru replied, though was surprised to see that her hair was black.
The Queen of Chizata sensed her curiosity, and chuckled.
"My grand-grandmother was an odd-ball who had black hair, and I got my black hair from her." She explained.
Hikaru was surprised. "How did she know I was questioning her hair?"
"I have a gift of sensing people feelings darling." The Queen of Chizata smiled.
Hikaru was dumbfounded.
"This is the room." Hikaru said, opening the door.
Eagle saw a woman that looked similar to both Tarta and Tatra…
Their mother.
She walked over calmly to Tatra, and held her hand. "Oh, Tarta, how could you?"
She then felt everyone's eyes on her, so she turned around the smiled. "I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself. I'm Tarta and Tatra's mother, Queen of Chizata, but you can just call me Tohru. No need for formality."
Tohru then noticed Fuu. "This was the girl who saved Tatra?"
Eagle nodded.
Tatra suddenly woke up, sensing her mother's presence close by.
"Mother…" Tatra whispered.
"Shush now, my daughter. You need your rest. We will go have a talk with Tarta later. You sleep your beauty sleep, though you are beautiful enough!" Tohru said.
Everyone did an anime sweat-drop, though Eagle had to agree.
Tatra giggled.
"She is obsessed with 'beauty' and anything that is cute. Not of her own beauty though, but others. If she sees someone whom she thinks is beautiful or cute, she will just have to dress her up or whatever." Tatra explained.
"Now go to sleep. But talking about beauty…" Tohru said turning around to look at Umi and Hikaru. She glanced at a sleeping Fuu. She will get her turn.
Hikaru didn't like the look of this..
----------------------------------------
"I just love your hair Umi!" Tohru squealed as if she was a kid in a candy store.
Umi could hardly believe that she was the Queen of Chizata.
Queen Chizata had decided on just doing their hair. Umi's hair was curled, while Hikaru's hair was put into two loose braided pigtails.
"You look so adorable Hikaru! I would have done more to both of your hair, and dress you two up, but all my stuff is back at Chizata. If only Fuu was awake too… " Tohru pouted.
Hikaru and Umi giggled.
Tohru then looked at Eagle looking at Tatra.
"So, this is the man that Tatra is crazy about… and Tarta too" Tohru thought.
"You have our permission." Tohru suddenly told Eagle.
Eagle was surprised. "Did she read my thoughts?"
Tohru giggled. "Yes, I did. I have a gift."
Fuu then slowly woke up.
"FUU!" Umi and Hikaru yelled and ran over to hug her.
"Hikaru, if you hug her so tightly you will make her worse…" Umi laughed.
"I'm fine." Fuu replied, hugging them back.
"We were just so worried." Hikaru pouted.
"Hello, Queen Tohru." Fuu bowed as much as she could since she was still weak.
"Hello Fuu." Tohru replied, "Just call me Tohru."
Fuu giggled at Hikaru confused look at how Fuu knew her name.
"I felt someone else's presence, and I heard her introduce herself, though I still half asleep. How long was I out?" Fuu asked.
"10 hours." Umi replied.
"Is Tatra alright?" Fuu asked.
"She is fine." Hikaru replied.
Fuu sighed with relief.
"I'm in-debt to you." Eagle told Fuu.
"As well am I." Tohru agreed.
"No. She still would have survived even if wasn't there. This is a world of will. With your love and prayers I sure that she would still have lived." Fuu argued.
"But you healed her with your powers." Eagle argued back.
Fuu just sighed in defeat.
Ferio came running at this moment, just hearing what happened to Fuu.
"FUU! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Ferio hysterically asked.
"Dude. You just heard about it right now? Damn, you are slow. And don't yell. If you noticed, Tatra is still resting!" Umi glared, trying to contain her laughter.
Ferio gave Umi a death glare. Fuu gave Ferio a polite yet sweet kiss. "I am fine."
Tohru smiled from ear to ear with delight from watching the couple interact.
"I want to plan your wedding!" Tohru giggled.
Fuu and Ferio both blushed. Everyone laughed, but still remembering not to laugh too loud.
Tatra was hearing everything, but too weak still to try to let everyone know that she was awake. "Mother…." Tatra thought, mentally laughing.
-------------------------------------------
After a few days Tatra finally gained back her energy.
Tatra sipped her tea.
"It is time to talk to Tarta, mother. No one has seen her, but both of us can sense her out."
"Yes I know. I'm very disappointed in her. That was a very unfair fight but not only that she used her Djinn for her own selfish reasons, she nearly killed you….her sister, because of her jealously. Though she has always been known to be short-tempered… Father is furious with her as well, but he needs to stay back home to make sure things are going the way it should be." Tohru sighed.
"Lets go find her." Tohru said, putting her cup of tea down and stand up.
Daughter and mother reached out, searching for Tarta's soul.
"She still is here in Cephiro… she is very troubled. Her heart… she is full of guilt, anger, depression….jealousy…. o Tarta…."
Tohru suddenly opened her eyes. "I know where she is."
